    Nah, no one stops Floyd, you can beat him but not stop. In 10 bouts each with 10 rounds, I have Floyd winning 5 and Leonard winning 5, possible draws too.

    Floyd is not his father, no where close to his father, you have to understand Floyd is ranked higher than Leonard for a reason on many P4P lists. Floyd smarter than Leonard, has better jab, and has better punch selection but Leonard has better footwork and offense than Floyd. With that being said it could be a close draw or a close win, but anything but close win such as UD and stoppage, I don't wanna hear that, no one stops Floyd. You can beat Floyd by a slim margin but you don't beat or stop Floyd, it just won't happen, Floyd is too pretty and prideful for you to batter him, I don't ever wanna hear the words UD and stoppage in the same sentence as Floyd, that just doesn't sound right. Close wins and draws I can def see those happening.

    Why do you disagree? You can't just say you disagree and then not say why you disagree. Floyd is way too defensively responsive to get battered. Too prideful

    Look think what you want as I really don't care. Ray wins and that's my opinion I don't answer to you.

    Alr, sounds like bias but alr, just know that your opinion doesn't matter and neither does mine, but what matters is the objective facts and truth that makes up the reality of this world, just know that and accept that, IDC

    If they were to actually fight and Floyd were to actually win, would you hate Floyd? Would you like Floyd, or would you be like, meh, IDC. How would you feel?

    I think Leonard has all the abilities to outperform Floyd.

    He had the unorthodox angles and speed of Zab, he's quite good on the inside like Castillo,and can actually smash that guard and back down for many times.


    Floyd's shot to beat Leonard is to make Leonard change gears so much he starts to show openings.

    Oh, absolutely, zero stylistic resemblance.

    Floyd is too small. The only way he could win is if he caught an inexperienced Leonard like Duran did. Leonard was bigger, faster, more powerful at the weight class, significantly longer reach and if his skills weren’t as good as Duran’s, it wasn’t far off. How could someone with that many advantages lose? Lack of experience.
